Just last spring, we began the process of hand-picking the best and brightest U.S College
students to represent us as Wolfram Student Ambassadors. We wanted to see what we could create if
we gave those with a pre-existing passion for all-things-Wolfram the resources and support to do what
many of them were already doing by their own accord introducing their peers to the Wolfram
Technology stack, and showing them first-hand its accessibility. Over the past year, its been fascinating
to see how many different academic disciplines yield enthusiastic and talented applicants. More
fascinating yet, were the applicants that defied our original demographic parameters: our Student
Ambassador Program was receiving applications from professors, and even people without any
academic affiliation at all. Which made sense while Wolfram software has had a steady, growing
popularity amongst students in recent years, its most loyal fans have been users since Mathematicas
conception in the late 80s. Knowing this, coupled with the positive precedent set by the success of our Student
Ambassador Program, it became apparent we needed to create a new program - something especially
designed for our original Ambassadors.
So who are we looking for?
Odds are, youve been with us since the beginning. Youre most likely a natural leader, and love to get
your friends/colleagues/students to that light bulb moment on projects and collaborations. Or maybe
youre an especially active member on community.wolfram.com, and you excel at performing solo
projects with our software. Whatever it may be, we want to empower you to be able to do even more
of it. This program will offer support to our professional enthusiasts, and give us the opportunity to say
thank you by providing complimentary benefits, support, and tools for establishing a community or
developing a personal project. Wed like to encourage anyone who has either considered or possibly
already created a group to contact us in order to discuss getting involved in this new partnership
opportunity.
